They swapped out MIT [0] for BSD-3 just five months ago, which doesn’t seem to have been announced at all. Nixpkgs still has the 0.6.5 release as MIT, and 0.6.6 is in the AUR as MI…

That deconstruction pattern wouldn't be valid since it can only use `..` once per list. Very cool stuff though, thanks!

Their Cloud ToS forbids sharing performance information (section 3.3i), which in its most generous interpretation is meant to avoid the type of speculation in this thread. https://…

> But of the 850 people in the jail system that the EFF is talking about here, that means at least 4 people are innocent Saying "at least 4" is pretty misleading here, since you're…

The "5.8% more likely" statistic would be in comparison to the population rate, not the subgroup who aren't overweight or obese. That group would have a 1-(1-.78)/(1-.736) or 16% r…

I would describe that heuristic as Bayesian, since the subject evaluates the prior evidence for each option, and then chooses the one with the most supporting information, instead …

NNs are not binary -- they're fundamentally analog, so for classification problems, they produce probabilities that a test case is in each possible class. A binary "X/not-X" test o…

> from the perspective of security, usability, and especially structured data transfer it's terrible. Email is basically free, works well for up to 5 megabytes of data, and data se…

Sure, it's a useful feature, but my password manager (1Password) already does it. I'm OK with testing out this extension regardless, but wouldn't be if I wanted to limit my data us…

That post isn't explicitly about a Firefox Monitor extension, and I could only find this rollout to US users mentioned on 3rd party websites. Those posts include BugZilla links, bu…

I wasn't a fan of the UI refresh for the same reason, so I made my own alternate homepage which sorts the feed by artist and de-emphasizes reposts ( http://gurlitz.org/soundcloud-d…

This goes back to the original file where it read "buried alive in email" in 1996 [1]. It changed to "buried alive in diapers" [2] from 97-99 before this last revision [3]. 1: ftp:…

From Postal Overview.txt: "The game is built on top of our cross-platform library, called "RSPiX" (pronounced "risp-icks"). RSPiX is organized into several levels, from low-level t…

Sometimes it would misjudge an avoidable crash, though. When an accident includes a vehicle in front, the middle car is oftentimes liable for following too closely. It might seem l…

I think the consequences of this would be too significant for Tesla to silently implement. Given an unavoidable rear crash, it could cause a multi-car accident and increase the col…

At first, ReCaptcha was used to transcribe books, and then in 2012 Google began to use it for street data. The GP is referring to its newest use, which is based on an image classif…

This library does more than "random" testing: when it finds a failure, it will try to reduce the input (called "shrinking") to report a minimal example. Here are some similar tools…

When was this? I recall having to use Cocktail with OS X (10.2-10.9) because the system maintenance scripts would never run if my laptop was off/asleep at midnight. In general, Uni…

Dokan provides FUSE support going back to Windows 7. There are also paid solutions with ExpanDrive and Mountain Duck, but in my experience Dokan+WinSSHFS [0] is easy to setup and w…

The linked article on Der Spiegel has a section on what they call "persistence:" The specialists at ANT, which presumably stands for Advanced or Access Network Technology, could be…

This is newly on google.com for me today, probably for the submitter too: http://i.imgur.com/Xzvk6zj.png

This is solved by the union-based filesystem (AUFS) that Docker uses. You start with one minimal rootfs like you describe, given in the "base" image, then when you install sshd you…
